Looking for a simple interface for users to enter data for Silverlight application
- by Edward Tanguay
I have made a Silverlight application which can read data from various URLs.
So users of the application who control a website can:
FTP text and XML files onto their website
put a clientaccesspolicy.xml in their root directory
enter their URL in the silverlight application
at which point the silverlight application then begins reading data from their site.
I would like to extend this to less technical users who do not control a website, aren't adept with FTP, etc.
What is the best service on the web that:
allows users to publish different kinds of data, e.g. put out text files on web
allows Silverlight client access (has clientaccesspolicy.xml set up)
Some ideas are:
free blog services (although then they are limited to a RSS feed, or the silverlight app would have to do some screen scraping)
Google Docs?
free cloud services?
What free services allow easy publishing of any kind of data on the web and allow Silverlight client access?
